How come every time I go onto an Eddie Izzard clip, there's always at least one Hetalia reference in the top comments. Not that I'm complaining, I love Hetalia XD ME GUSTA
It saddens me so much that my country with 2500 years of history, birthplace of the renaisance, home of Da Vinci, Columbus, Marconi and the only thing anyone here knows about it is some stupid cartoon character!! Stop being so insulting to Italy!! We're a country with a great history, not a cartoon!!! >:-(
@sandrodream2 he's English and he's not mocking Italy. If anything, he is praising you for your seemingly entire nation, being comprised of cool people. Hope that clears things up! :)
@sandrodream2 va bene tutto, ok la difesa della patria ma uno come eddie izzard in italia ce lo sogniamo. Parlando di stand up comedy, non esiste nessun comico italiano attuale (ma forse neanche passato) che possa permettersi anche solo di pulire la merda sotto le scarpe di Izzard; a livello internazionale ci sono giusto Carlin e Hicks. e non lo dico da sbruffone (e certamente Izzard non ha bisogno della mia difesa, nè io ho bisogno di difenderlo). Guarda anche solo Circle o Dressed To Kill :)
@formula29channel ma ti rendi conto di cosa stai dicendo, mi sembra platinette...senti ti sei mai chiesto perchè cantanti, attori comici anglofoni sono famosi in tutto il mondo ?
cioè vogliamo paragonare questo izzard con Gigi Proietti ?
@sandrodream2 è evidente che non sai di cosa stai parlando. io Proietti lo conosco benissimo e conosco altrettanto bene Izzard. Tu chiaramente no e per tutta risposta dimostri l'apertura mentale tipica dell'italiano medio, rintanato dietro le tre cose che ha visto in tv. Confondi gli stand-up con il teatro comico italiano. evolviti.
Detto questo, proietti resta un grandissimo del teatro, e soprattutto va considerato come il più completo degli artisti italiani in circolazione. dopodichè, sticazzi
@formula29channel chi è chiuso sono proprio gli anglosassoni che diffondono le loro cose e non conoscono le cose degli altri. Vedi siamo noi quelli piu aperti e non il contrario, noi abbiamo l'immenso repertorio cinema poliziesco, commedie sexy, horror anni 70/80 che non ha rivali nel mondo e loro non conoscono attori e film meravigliosi di Thomas milliam, Banfi, Fantozzi, e tanti altri mentre noi conosciamo le loro cazzate una pallottola spuntata, sculoa di polizia, mr bean .
@formula29channel non hai risposto alla mia domanda, come mai attori, cantanti, comici anglofoni sono famosi in tutto il mondo ? voglio vedere se rispondi correttamente
@sandrodream2 ehm ho appena realizzato che discutere di cose come queste con uno che mi cita banfi e fantozzi come "immenso patrimonio cinematografico" che ci deve invidiare tutto il mondo, ma soprattutto che porta a paragone esempi tipo scuola di p. e mr.bean (uno americano e l'altro inglese, per mettere la cigliegina sulla torta), per me è perfettamente inutile. ho trovato ahimè un interlocutore che per me non capisce davvero niente e quindi non ha senso proseguire. a prescindere dall'inglese.
@formula29channel guarda che Banfi, Paolo Villaggio, Franco e Ciccio, Bombolo, Mario Brega, Verdone e tanti altri sono anni luce avanti la commedia ANGLOFONA, perchè secondo te gli americani che sono francesi ? per me sono anglofoni.
lascia perdere tianiti Platinette a me fa ridere...dalla pena ciao
@Cassuss13 Some of us Hetalia fans linked to this after watching his other clips! I got here from his Daleks skit. so I guess there is a crazy Whovian here, ME!
@freddyminchia Io commento quel cazzo che voglio e non sei certo tu a determinare chi ha capito cosa,il popolo Italiano ama le persoanalità che lo rappresentano nelle qualtà di autoritarismo anarchico, ossia anarchia del potere,personalità politiche che in quanto tali usano il ruolo di cui si investono per fare quel cazzo che gli pare.All'Italiano medio menefreghista, ignorante, populita cialtrone, cinico e meschino questo va bene e ciò può passare per "sfottimento", ma in realtà è solo
@HikariInSuicideland Haha, well, it's a fun manga isn't it? ...And Romano is my fav too, really. =w= Eheh, he's so tsundere.. I love them both equally, eh~ <3
@robasci00 Non hai capito un cazzo il potere è fascista. Noi siamo il paese di pulcinella e in fondo abbiamo sempre sfottuto i potenti. Se non capisci perchè eddie izzard in fondo ci ammira non commentare! PLEASE!
plz thumb down 111RobinHood, he only tries to justify the shameful amorality of some (mostly southern) italians. go to work and pay your taxes you scumbag. we have mafia and can't improve as a nation because of shitheads like that.
"Ciao" is an italian word that comes from the venetian "s-ciao" (also s-ciavo), which derives from the Romance "sclavus", that means "slave". So the real meaning of "ciao" was "I'm your servant/I'm your slave", but nowadays only means hello. As a result of the migrations of the italians, the word spread all over the world.
@Gefruss perfect explanation "ciao" in Venice originally was a very very polite way to greet, it was used by the nobles, now it means just "hello" and few people know the origin.
lol. ciao is originally italian. it's a casual way to say hello or goodbye.
spanish speakers also say it, usually as a way to say goodbye, kind of like how an english speaker might say adios, au revoir, etc. it's just a lot more common that foreign language greetings are in english. i happen to speak spanish fluently and study italian as well. so basically, chill! and laugh with eddie izzard!
@Dontforgetbetch actually from an Italian friend of mine, she said ciao really comes from the Romans, and the word they used, I believe it's servus, led to the use of ciao in italy, tschau in france, tschüss in germany.
@ScheisseGSU Salve ('Sal-way) is what was used as a roman greeting, or to multiple people, Salvete. It almost looks like Salute in english, which is what it means, hail or salute.
So yes. There is a different dialect of Spanish. Just like the Chinese language has up to 50 different dialects like Mandarin/Cantonese/ ect. ect. Also, French has two dialects too. French Canadian (Quebec) and then the French that is spoken in France. So there. Now must this continue? Or do I have to smack you with my hockey stick? >>
Okay. let me say this. Chao IS SPANISH! My mother's BEST FRIEND (I mean near 30 years going) is from SOUTH AMERICA! She speaks Spanish fluently. She has used the word and it IS Spanish. So pull your head out of your rear. If you say its not Spanish, then I'm going to call her and say "did you know your a liar?"
actually rchcc122 is right i'm from mexico and yes puertoricans and mexicans can understand each other i mean we do have different words and meanings but we understand each other perfectly and chao/ciao is a spanish word it isn't used very often but it IS!
Yes. You can. Words and phrases that mean "Good-bye" in Spanish: "Hasta lavista" "Hasta luego" "Hasta mañana" "Buenos noches" "Hasta prontos" "Adios" "Chao" And quite a few more. I spent over six years learning Spanish. My close friends are Hispanic. I kinda know what I'm talking about.
@rchcc122 Chao is not Spanish. I grew up around alot of Puerto Ricans and I also grew up in Miami. People all over the world use Ciao. It is Italian and people find it cute so they like to say it. Chao is not a Spanish word.
It is the fact that you said Ciao, sounded Spanish/Italian. the italian Chao, is just a word taken from Italian, and converted into Spanish frammer. it was;t actually part of the spanish language
P.S. Chao refers to several Asian Nouns, and many are Chinease, so the man was right in it sounding Chinease.
"No" sounds Enligsh, English is Germanic, yet it uses the same Latin format.
But "chao" and "ciao" are pronounced the same way and used in both Spanish and Italian sentences. Therefore, it sounds more Italian/Spanish because it's used in both languages for roughly the same meaning.
@rchcc122 I agree with you on the meaning part. But I have noticed in Italian quite a few words sound Chinese or Japanese. In Italian Conoscerla and in Japanese Conosciwa, but you are right completely different meanings. They sound very similar-not sure why. Ciao and chow mein, but still different meanings.
B: I live two hours away from Mexico and my grandma is Italian. Not only that, but i have taken classes in school from a teacher from Cuba and a teacher from Mexico. My mother's colleague and countless of my classmates are Mexican. I have been to Mexico so many time's it's less like another country and more just like an extension of my home.
"Chao" means "bye" according to the Premier Paso Vocabulario ch. 1 on page of the text book "Ven Conmigo, En Camino"
Chao is not Spanish. My mother's ex boyfriend from the time I was 7 to 30 was Puerto Rican and never used Chao. Have taken Spanish from 6th grade until present. Worked in MIami ; was forced to learn Spanish. was the only white girl at my high school in MIami and my classmates and co-workers only spoke Spanish. I KNOW that Chao is not a Spanish word you are wrong. You are getting your answer from a book, it is only book knowledge you have.
My cousins and aunt and uncle lived in Ecuador (Which is in South America) and they use 'Chao' for 'bye.'
I have discussed this today with one of my friends who is in Argentina- they say "Chao" but pronounce it "Chau." My friend from Mexico says they say it as well. And two of my friends in AP Spanish say it is a Spanish word as well.
@zimThuet But my point is in Argentina, it's "Chau" because it's a word they took from the Italian language and adapted into their own. In other parts of South America and Central America it's "Chao"
@rchcc122 you are full of crap and the reason I know this is that if you actually knew anything about Spanish. You would know that in Miami, they only speak Spanish. It is not a Spanish word. it is Italian and as far as I know Puerto Ricans and Mexicans understand eachother just fine. You have no idea what you are talking about and it shows.. And I learned Spanish in real life in Miami from Cubans. Ciao is not Spanish, it is in your Spanish book because it became part of the lexicon.
It's because there were many Italian immigrants who immigrated to Argentina and other countries- so their language meshed and now it is an actual word.
Please, comprehend this. Puerto Rican Spanish is different from Mexican Spanish which is different than Span Spanish which is different from South American Spanish just like English is different if you're in the United States, Canada, Australia or England.
I shouldn't get involved with online discussions. but maybe you are the one that is right. Ciao is Italian. Many cultures and countries have used the word Ciao and changed the spelling to adapt to their pronounciation. But Chao or Ciao is not a Spanish word. So I agree with you 100%. It is Italian and Americans and other cultures use it because well it is kind of cute and hip or whatever.
French is, among Romance languages, the one that has gone furthest away from latin itself, due to phonological, syntactical and lexical changes: Old and Modern French are so different from one another that it is difficult for a learned Frenchman to read The Chanson de Roland, while for an Italian it is quite easy to read Dante, and the same can be said for el cantar de mi Cid in Spanish.
I believe the American "chow" meaning food comes from a Chinese dog name that they eat....I believe they call the breed "chow chow". The Italian greeting ciao is more informal and used both for hi and bye.
Well, I'm italian and I love Eddie. This video is very funny,but I'd like to spread to everybody that it's in Naples that people ain't used to use the helmet. Find videos and images of Naples and you will see people on moped with no elmets.
I do not come from Naples and in my city people always use helmet. So don't say that it's true,if you don't have ever been here. Bye!
Well, for Italians, we don't take the governments or laws seriously. Laws are made to be broken. Why? Because they are man made laws and men are not perfect and most men think only for the good of themselves and their families. And Italians are individualists, especially in the South, and so they don't understand the concept of thinking for society as a whole. The Italian government is just a name for a bunch of corrupt politicians devising new ways to tax us all to death!
"Italians are individualists, especially in the South"
it seems that you don't know nothing about Italy. For southern italians, family is the most valuable thing they got in their life. Everything is done for the family.
Ma hai letto bene quello che ho scritto? Yes the family is the most important plus the individuals that make up the family. But, they don't have a strong sense of sacrificing for the good of public society. Quando dico la società, non parlo della familglia, ma parlo delle persone fuori della familglia! In England, family life is not strong, but they have a strong sense of principles, of doing that which should be fair for the other person who is not of the family. Mi sono spieghato bene adesso?
guess who i saw stepping out of a taxi on baker street - only frigging eddie the izzard!!! woo hoooooo. quality celeb sighting i think you'll agree people. sheer quality.
@Bjarku i might be rude, it doesn't mean the whole italy is rude. this huge semplification tells that you can't comprehend the complexity of reality, so i think i was actually right calling you dickhead. Dickhead!

The type that rides the scooter without a helmet is found in Naples. Those types are really disorderly.
Mussolini was from Emilia-Romagna where people are disciplinate and also have a collectivistic tendency. Those ones are either Fascist or Communist.
There are also many other Italian types. It's like with Britain where you have Scot Welsh and English people

This has been flagged as spam show
to clearify:
Ciao is italian word to say "hi" and "bye" too...
it's origin is from latin "Sclavus", which means "Slave" and it means "I am your slave", in order to say "I am at your disposal".
In the recent past "ciao" has been universally been adopted to say "hallo".
It's the 3rd italian universal word, the others are Pasta and Pizza :)
I don't know about "chao" or similar but it's obviously just a phonetic translation of the original which would pronounced something like "seao"...

French is the closest to Latin next to Italain. This is what I meant. Not the exact wording
Youradumbassbarnes 2 years ago
Well then I'm not wrong.
Italian and Spanish in this context are closer than Italian and French. Your point is moot.
rchcc122 2 years ago
It is the fact that you said Ciao, sounded Spanish/Italian. the italian Chao, is just a word taken from Italian, and converted into Spanish frammer. it was;t actually part of the spanish language
P.S. Chao refers to several Asian Nouns, and many are Chinease, so the man was right in it sounding Chinease.
"No" sounds Enligsh, English is Germanic, yet it uses the same Latin format.
Youradumbassbarnes 2 years ago
But "chao" and "ciao" are pronounced the same way and used in both Spanish and Italian sentences. Therefore, it sounds more Italian/Spanish because it's used in both languages for roughly the same meaning.
rchcc122 2 years ago
@rchcc122 I agree with you on the meaning part. But I have noticed in Italian quite a few words sound Chinese or Japanese. In Italian Conoscerla and in Japanese Conosciwa, but you are right completely different meanings. They sound very similar-not sure why. Ciao and chow mein, but still different meanings.

A: It's "Konnichiwa"
B: I live two hours away from Mexico and my grandma is Italian. Not only that, but i have taken classes in school from a teacher from Cuba and a teacher from Mexico. My mother's colleague and countless of my classmates are Mexican. I have been to Mexico so many time's it's less like another country and more just like an extension of my home.
"Chao" means "bye" according to the Premier Paso Vocabulario ch. 1 on page of the text book "Ven Conmigo, En Camino"

Chao is not Spanish. My mother's ex boyfriend from the time I was 7 to 30 was Puerto Rican and never used Chao. Have taken Spanish from 6th grade until present. Worked in MIami ; was forced to learn Spanish. was the only white girl at my high school in MIami and my classmates and co-workers only spoke Spanish. I KNOW that Chao is not a Spanish word you are wrong. You are getting your answer from a book, it is only book knowledge you have.

You worked in MIAMI.
Chao is a Spanish word used in SOUTH AMERICA.
Puerto Rico is NOT in South America.
My cousins and aunt and uncle lived in Ecuador (Which is in South America) and they use 'Chao' for 'bye.'
I have discussed this today with one of my friends who is in Argentina- they say "Chao" but pronounce it "Chau." My friend from Mexico says they say it as well. And two of my friends in AP Spanish say it is a Spanish word as well.
I used the text book as evidence.

@zimThuet But my point is in Argentina, it's "Chau" because it's a word they took from the Italian language and adapted into their own. In other parts of South America and Central America it's "Chao"

@rchcc122 you are full of crap and the reason I know this is that if you actually knew anything about Spanish. You would know that in Miami, they only speak Spanish. It is not a Spanish word. it is Italian and as far as I know Puerto Ricans and Mexicans understand eachother just fine. You have no idea what you are talking about and it shows.. And I learned Spanish in real life in Miami from Cubans. Ciao is not Spanish, it is in your Spanish book because it became part of the lexicon.

@FuLuShouXi You are not listening to me.
YES they can understand each other- You can understand an English man or an Australian, can't you?
But they have different words than us. Don't they?
Mexico =/= Argentina
Cuba =/= Argentina
Puerto Rico =/= Argentina
Have you never watched any South American movies?
Have you never been to South America?
Please learn geography.
rchcc122 1 year ago
It's because there were many Italian immigrants who immigrated to Argentina and other countries- so their language meshed and now it is an actual word.
Please, comprehend this. Puerto Rican Spanish is different from Mexican Spanish which is different than Span Spanish which is different from South American Spanish just like English is different if you're in the United States, Canada, Australia or England.

You are wrong. Please stop generalizing the entire Spanish speaking community and their vocabulary because you learned Puerto Rican Spanish.
In the US we don't use "bloke" yet that doesn't mean "bloke" isn't a word.

I shouldn't get involved with online discussions. but maybe you are the one that is right. Ciao is Italian. Many cultures and countries have used the word Ciao and changed the spelling to adapt to their pronounciation. But Chao or Ciao is not a Spanish word. So I agree with you 100%. It is Italian and Americans and other cultures use it because well it is kind of cute and hip or whatever.

"Chao" is a Spanish word. "Ciao" is an Italian word. They are pronounced slightly different.

French is, among Romance languages, the one that has gone furthest away from latin itself, due to phonological, syntactical and lexical changes: Old and Modern French are so different from one another that it is difficult for a learned Frenchman to read The Chanson de Roland, while for an Italian it is quite easy to read Dante, and the same can be said for el cantar de mi Cid in Spanish.

I believe the American "chow" meaning food comes from a Chinese dog name that they eat....I believe they call the breed "chow chow". The Italian greeting ciao is more informal and used both for hi and bye.

I do not come from Naples and in my city people always use helmet. So don't say that it's true,if you don't have ever been here. Bye!

Well, for Italians, we don't take the governments or laws seriously. Laws are made to be broken. Why? Because they are man made laws and men are not perfect and most men think only for the good of themselves and their families. And Italians are individualists, especially in the South, and so they don't understand the concept of thinking for society as a whole. The Italian government is just a name for a bunch of corrupt politicians devising new ways to tax us all to death!

it seems that you don't know nothing about Italy. For southern italians, family is the most valuable thing they got in their life. Everything is done for the family.

Ma hai letto bene quello che ho scritto? Yes the family is the most important plus the individuals that make up the family. But, they don't have a strong sense of sacrificing for the good of public society. Quando dico la società, non parlo della familglia, ma parlo delle persone fuori della familglia! In England, family life is not strong, but they have a strong sense of principles, of doing that which should be fair for the other person who is not of the family. Mi sono spieghato bene adesso?

Hai perfettamente ragione!
Questa è anche la ragione perché per tanti italiani Berlusconi non è mai stato un problema così grande a differenza per tanti non-italiani.
Montanelli che è sempre stato contro Berlusconi disse che il problema più grosso è la mentalità degli italiani.
Personalmente spero anche io che noi italiani impariamo a scegliere meglio i candidati politici.
